I think you lighting looks really good. I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve, but you might want to hide a small back light behind the bike to make the outline a little more crisp and the front of the bike is a bit dark.. That said knowing that my artistic taste is very conventional.

Thank you! I wasn't ready to take this picture it was just quick shot in 10 minutes. When i have bit more time i'm trying to do this. Using the RGB LED stick it gives you very interesting results

Wow! That is not at all what I was thinking when I said "a small back light behind the bike to make the outline a little more crisp" But Wow!
I think this is probably the best shot I have of my bike, even though it was just taken with my phone. I believe I took it in response to one of the "photo challenge threads,' e.g., "your bike in front of scrap metal art." This metal was from the original WTC. I was lucky that someone had put a flag there.
I placed the bike in a shadow for even lighting on the bike. It was taken late in the day for overall interesting light. I took multiple exposures, focused on different parts of the picture and used HDR software (photomatrix) so that the bright background and the bike in the shadow both appeared to be properly exposed. (HDR software us usually used with multiple exposures, taking the best parts from multiple shots,)
